Post Harvest Management The India Maize Summit 2013. Post Harvest Management.
E N D
Post Harvest Management Post- Harvest Management (PHM) can be defined as methods and techniques applied to increase the life and retain produce. Post-harvest grain loss is the loss of grains (quality and/or quantity) between the moments of harvest and consumption. Close to30% of the crop is lost due to inefficient post harvest management • The losses above can be summarized by two main causes: • Shelling and Drying Techniques (Moisture content) • Storage and Handling
Post Harvest Management - Drying • Low moisture content and low storage temperatures reduce the opportunity for deterioration and microbial growth • At harvesting, the shelled kernels contain too much moisture for safe storage (18 – 24%), and must be dried to safe moisture levels of about 12 % to store maize effectively for a longer duration • Lack of access to technologies and use of indigenous / improper drying methods can however induce the formation of stress cracks, puffiness and discoloration or leave higher moisture content than desired • Drying also leads to weight reduction which can create conflict of interest for the seller (farmer / trader) Lower the moisture content, less the damage
Post Harvest Management – Storage • The efficient conservation of maize depends basically on • the ecological conditions of storage (relative humidity, temperature, etc.) • the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the grain • the storage period • the type and functional characteristics of the storage facility • A good storage structure should: • Provide protection from common storage loss agents such as insect pests, rodents, moulds, birds and man. • Maintain an even, cool and dry storage environment. The maize should be placed on pellets above the floor to avoid cold conditions that may lead to moulds. • Should not allow re-wetting of grain by either moisture migration or rain. • Offer reasonable protection from thieves, natures vagaries or any other factor of physical damage • Allow aeration as it helps in keeping down the relative humidity of interstitial gases • Proper sanitization and fumigation to prevent growth of pathogens Storage efficiency depends on Biotic (living agents) and Non-Biotic factors

Bulk Handling • The principal advantages of bulk handling are: • Great saving in time and cost of handling the grain • Saves the cost of providing hags every season. • Greater reduction in the quantity of lost and damaged grain. • Greater expedition in loading and unloading railway trucks, thus increasing the effective throughput • Greater expedition in loading and unloading ships, thus, reducing shipping charges. • Greater ease in cleaning and grading • Silos form an integral part of bulk handling of commodities Bulk Handling creates cost and operational efficiencies
Bulk Handling – Silos Are silos the way forward in the Indian context?
Bulk Handling – Silos • Although silos have many advantages there are major issues in adoption of these bulk handling systems • Needs a complete overhaul of logistics infrastructure right from the farm to the end processor (carriages, transport, port facilities, etc. ) to handle these goods in bulk • Small scale farming, fragmented production and varied farming practices prevent significant aggregation • Separate Silos are required for each commodity • Requires qualified manpower and special tools to build and run silos • Futures trading is grade dependent and hence prevents mixing of various qualities within a single storage • Availability of electricity and technological knowhow Many miles to go before bulk handling and use of silos is pervasive
Post Harvest Management • Effective Post Harvest Management Techniques for Maize: • Low moisture content • Good quality storage infrastructure • Comprehensive spectrum of value added services provided under one roof • These value added services also includes primary processing which will further prevent undue movement of goods • Price discovery and risk management tools • Gearing up for bulk handling techniques and creating the requisite infrastructure across the value chain Bulk Handling systems will be an important denominator for the success or failure of PHM for maize
